This book was released on 1966 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening shock, snatch forces, opening times, rates of descent, and down times of a number of man-carrying, cargo, and extraction parachutes are calculated on the basis of analytical equations and certain other assumptions. Comparisons of the calculated data with full scale experimental values are somewhat limited, but show reasonable agreement when available. This report represents a first step in an attempt to catalog full scale experimental values from which, eventually, more exact analytical methods can be derived.
